Tag: RCA Studio 1

The first stage of Elvis in Charcoal no. 202. This time three images of Elvis at RCA Studio 1 in New York, July 1956. A bit more challenging than Elvis in charcoal #201. I love drawing clothing with many folds, and I love the cool outfits Elvis wore in the fifties. Charcoal, ink and white
